Los Angeles: Marvel Studios has unveiled the first trailer for its upcoming series ‘VisionQuest’, giving fans a first look at the return of Paul Bettany as Vision.
The series is set to premiere on 14 October.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige introduced Bettany and James Spader at the event. Bettany will return as Vision, while Spader will reprise his role as Ultron, the villain from the 2015 film ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’.
Bettany, who has played Vision across several Marvel projects, reflected on his journey with the character before the trailer was shown.
"It's been an enormous joy playing Vision as he's evolved through the years, helped turn the tide in some enormous battles… rather inconveniently died a number of times … Although I'm told in the Marvel universe no one is really dead, unless Kevin says they are," Bettany said, as per the publication.
The first trailer was then unveiled, offering fans a glimpse of the new series and its story.
‘VisionQuest’ is being led by Terry Matalas, known for his work on ‘Star Trek: Picard’.
The series follows the events of ‘WandaVision’, which premiered in 2021 and focused on Wanda Maximoff's grief following Vision's death in ‘Avengers: Infinity War’.
The story later continued with ‘Agatha All Along’, released in 2024 and centred on Kathryn Hahn's character, Agatha.
Bettany has been part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe since 2008, when he first voiced Tony Stark's artificial intelligence assistant JARVIS in ‘Iron Man’.
He later appeared as Vision in ‘Avengers: Age of Ultron’ and went on to reprise the role in other Marvel films and series. He has also voiced the character in the animated series ‘What If…?’.
